HELP

[rixtag]

I am checking all of the wheel bearings on my old eXmark 36(belt drive) and I am needing some help removing the spacer/bushings on the drive wheels. they are making some noise and I want to take advantage of the winter to replace as needed. My parts manual doesn't indicate that they are threaded or held in by anything but they are very stubborn.

Help...please.

Just drive them out from the opposite side with a hammer and a punch.

I did what Richard is saying with my bobcat belt drive, only I used a flst head screwdriver instead of a punch.

Have you tried liquid wrench? I had the same prob, and used that after it sits for a while, Tap it on the edge with a fisthead driver mine came right on out. Hope this might help, good luck.

You could try heating it with a torch as a last resort.

Thanks all for your help. I was able to (with some help) get one out. The bore was scored so I didn't feel bad trashing it to get it out. The other one pressed out ez once the bearing were out of the way. Will be replacing all bearings and bushings. Thanks again everybody!!!
